Your choice for autoloader carry?

[dukefan70]

I want to know what people carry in the way of autoloaders, particularly compact or subcompact. And I mean a CARRY GUN, not your full size .45 auto that stays home most of the time b/c you don't feel like taking it. Practical weapons that you or people you know carry comfortably on a regular basis and what you like about that choice.

P.S. Especially those of you in MA because we don't have such options as Kel-Tec and Kahr.

 

[HTRN]

I like the S&W M&P Compacts.

Good gun, with a bad trigger.

 

[M1911]

99% of the time, I carry either my Kimber Compact Aluminum frame (when using belt carry) or my Kahr PM9 (when using pocket carry).

 

[william_munny]

My HK USP .40, full size. It stays concealed, but printing is another story altogether, especially in the summer...

 

[houdini]

I only carry full sise guns.

 

[wolfhook]

HK USP 45 compact.

 

[Mark from MA]

Glock 27 or Glock 30....

We do have the options of Kel-Tec and Kahr BTW some dealers may not.... but we do.

I choose not to carry Kahr because Glocks hold more rounds and are slightly bigger and still conceal well. If I carried a Kahr it would be a PM 45

I just have to ask for clarification....by autoloader, do you mean a double action....semi-auto...what? If I am assuming correctly, you are just asking about some form of semi-auto CCW? That being the case, I would say it depends on the situation and what you are comfortable with. During the winter months I carry a .40 or .45. I like the extra power on board. In the summer or at work, I carry a Walther P99c 9mm. Without going into the "palm sized" guns, I think it is one of the best out there. It's very small, light, and holds 10 + 1. Make sure you get the extended mag for your pinky, makes a lot of difference.

 

[jaypap]

Glock 19 or Seecamp .32

 

[buketduder]

Glock 26 or in the winter Full Size M&P (9mm).....I don't really have an issue with the trigger..but we might get diff triggers in CT

 

[dukefan70]

Too true buketduder...MA requires handguns to be sold w/ a 10lb. trigger pull brand new; they can be adjusted after. I'm assuming "bad trigger" meant trigger pull. As far as Kel-Tec and Kahr are concerned, I thought we couldn't get them in MA. If I'm wrong, I'll be happy I am...I'll look into it again. Keep it coming guys.

yes, but great with with the apex drop in sear.

 

[Bad13Luck]

Glock 36

[jasonj84]

Ruger LCP, Glock 27, and I just picked up a G36 that I am going to try out to replace the 27, once I settle on a IWB holster choice. The 27 is hard to beat. Super concealable and and 10 rounds of Fo-Tay! And no, it hasn't blown up yet.

 

[qmmo]

Type 1 hand phaser in the summer, type 2 in the winter.

 

[Kid Presentable]

i carry a sig P226 9mm in a galco summer comfort holster, it conceals well for me, but in the summer i've used an m&p 9c

 

[twortley]

Just moved to Sig 229-DAO in 40SW from Sig-229 in 9mm. When I can't use IWB (Crossbreed Supertuck), my Ruger LCR

 

[Palladin]

G30 or G23...now it's usually the 30

 

[BigMike]

I find that the Samsung's button action is smoother and has better stopping power than the LG

 

[SecondAmdFirst]

Type 1 hand phaser in the summer, type 2 in the winter.

is that set to stun or vaporize?

 

[SecondAmdFirst]

I actually prefer the Cross Breed SuperTuck holsters. Nice conceal and comfortable. Ideally, I would love to be able to use a Serpa, but they print WAY too much.

Oh, boy, are you gonna HATE my answers. Sorry, pal, but I found a Kahr K9 for sale in MA, and that's my usual carry gun. Occasionally, I'll pop a 2.5" bbl S&W Model 19 on my belt, and a NAA Mini Magnum sits in my pocket to back up the K9.

BTW... MrTwigg conceals a full size 1911 on his belt every day AFAIK.

 

[smith945]

Government length all steel 1911 everyday whatever the season. With the proper holster and belt concealment is quite easy.

 

[SecondAmdFirst]

G30SF.

-Mike

Mike, you're selling that to me on the cheap, right?

 

[gerrycaruso]

I carry a Kahr P45 and 1 extra magazine.

 

[qmmo]

is that set to stun or vaporize?

Always set at full power. Leaves nothing identifiable behind....just a little ash residue, nothing more.

 

[mchncbill]

sig p226 its "big" but so am i in waist band holster in the back

 

[Scrivener]

S&W CS 9; the smallest metal frame auto S&W makes.

Loved my little Beretta .25, though. Not great stopping power, but small.
